I am Japanese. Now I am 20 years old and I am happy to see this on RUclips because this was broadcast before I was born. In Japan, this kind of variety used to be broadcasted every day, but recently it is becoming less and less. The people in this video, including the host, are representative of Japanese comedians. Especially Ken Shimura was very popular for a long time, but he passed away recently. All of Japan was saddened by his passing. Even though he passed away, Ken Shimura's variety shows are still aired occasionally. We will never forget him.
When I saw Shimura Ken in another video before he passed away, I was surprised at how old he looked. Time flies, Hamada and Matsumoto and the others have all gotten old, sadly.

teubert2 I will trade races if you want, I hate this cursed life style of being Asian, you can fantasize it but if you trade it would become a reality or you can take my cousin's race of being Japanese and he would want this one thing which is being white?
+Fire Power701 If you hate your "cursed life style of being Asian" then perhaps you should move to another part of the world? I never said I wanted to be Japanese if that's what you're implying.
Believe it or not, the 2 guys wearing red were behind "Americas Funniest Home Videos." They began the trend on their comedy show in the mid to late 80's when they would get home video submissions from viewers and they would review them and make jokes, and someone saw it, and brought it to America in '89. You can see it in AFV's credits as "Fun with Ken-san & Kato-chan."
I've just watch the most amazing piece of entertainment I'll ever see. Life can only be bitter from now on. Why would you upload this ? I can't live the rest of my life knowing with absolute certainty that anything I will encounter won't match this piece. Why would you rob the world of hope.
D.D. Descendant In the game he refers to how War always end in death, tragedy, and sorrow for many. It doesn't matter if it's with bullets or with bombs.
Essentially lived in Taiwan for 2 years during a co development project with a Taiwanese company. Made many trips to China and a few to Japan. Gotta say that the people, their culture, and their food are arguably the best I've seen on the planet.
Magna Ryuu see, that makes more sense and makes it funnier. Otherwise we are watching men grimace and people being chosen to win or lose. Could have totally rammed it with that tank, and the drummers kept going after the time limit.
Common sense is called not taking everything literally and going into context about how a sentence is phrased on the Internet. It would do you good to learn that.
This is the first video i watched and become a fan of downtown, when i was depressed years ago. But Ken-san was really hilarous. Now i heard the news he passed away from the covid-19. Thank you for the laughter Ken-san.
This is actually really hilarious. Like, the contestants know it's crazy and scary, but they've got this fantastic sense of humor. They're not putting up with any crap. "What the heck was that?!?" yelling at the people trying to knock them down. Man, this is great.
they're called "Downtown or as a group Gaki no Tsukai" and are among the best Japanese comedians..hence the "fantastic sense of humor" ...look them up..you'll get hooked..
I mean tbh as a Japanese, the Japanese sense of humor probably won't be as appealing to foreigners as it is funny to the Japanese themselves. I find some of their stuff funny, but only because I've grown pretty accustomed to their unique sense of humor.
O.G Autistler What is wrong with you? It's actually in the history books, so it is accurate. It might be a little racist but it still is accurate, that's why I said "not really"
O.G Autistler Who gives a fuck about Hitler? It it even is true I honestly don't even care at all, *doesn't* make him a better person at all. Also your username sucks.
A US version would have Nerf guns and super soakers. Maybe football too but with throwing and kicking. And baseball with either batting or a home slide
this is great, i laughed a lot, i just love the vibe that these shows have. so funny like that whip machine, hilarious. not to mention the contestants and host were having a great deal of fun in the conversations between them and others.
Omg I love them soo much 😂 they’re literally some of Japanese popular comedians to this day (but hamada got a lot of backlash for his blackface early this year) But please watch Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende..it’s a batsu game (punishment game) where they have to try succeed to not laugh for 24hours ..and if they fail to do do so, they’ll get punished with different objects that’s connected with the theme/locations of the show It’s really funny but they’re roughly 3-6 hours long per episode
Is this the same people who did the other batsugame where the contestants had to spend a night in a hall and they were ambushed several times during that time. The one who got caught first would be punished. It was so funny :D
my fave bit was the football one its was funny when he's reaction was like what.... Edit: How did I get so much likes...well thank you for the +300 likes people xD
I'm still haunted by the fact that, for each of those unturned squares, there must have been an entire clown show behind that curtain, if we had caricture american tank drivers, priests, volleyball players, whipping machines... What he fuck else was in a line back there?
Jeopardy is still good, everything else is pretty much crap. I want gameshows like this in America, this would be fun as hell, even if you didn't win money.
Clear Casket Americans would ruin it without all the comedic characteristics the Japanese have compared to Japan. It's too good to be in America. Also to mention that frequent shouting is something that I don't expect to hear in the United States. As Americans would destroy our vocal cords the first time we do it for 13 minutes (like this video's length) without a louder microphone. Additionally and personally with no hate, I find this impossible to believe: is shouting an art for them? 😂😂😂
Oh yes, Wall of Boxes! One of the greatest sports I ever competed in. Went all the way to the national qualifiers in 93. Hangin Charlie is what they called me. Those were the days...
2:27 Volley Ball team does nothing "that's not enough!" It was at this moment Shimura Ken knew... He fucked up *gets hit by Roller team and American Football*
Whenever you feel useless, just remember the whipping machine.
Dont forget the fans
@@Jason_Something Hey at least the fans put the fear of god into that man, when this whip came out the guy looked relieved XD
Lol
😂😂
Japan is not just an other country. Is an other planet.
"an other" lol how cute!
Funny. I was standing in Tokyo on my first visit. I had that exact revelation.
I agree but, why cute?
Wait i din't mean to agree to it
TUES_PW lol now you're being cute! ☺
what do i have to do with my life to end up a sweaty black man riding tanks in Japanese game shows?
tbh wouldn't even be mad

Mr. Shimura is a legend. This video was my introduction to Japanese variety shows.
It's unfortunate that's such an entertaining thing is becoming less popular...
Oh noooo he's dead? RIP Shimura
If this was on Netflix I would watch it everyday
A funny Japanese game shows category on Netflix would be a great idea.

I would totally watch more of this
its staged but funny

Believe it or not, the 2 guys wearing red were behind "Americas Funniest Home Videos."
They began the trend on their comedy show in the mid to late 80's when they would get home video submissions from viewers and they would review them and make jokes, and someone saw it, and brought it to America in '89.
You can see it in AFV's credits as "Fun with Ken-san & Kato-chan."
interesting
Tom Bergeron is the best
They influenced it based on what you're saying, "began the trend", NOT "were behind it".
They were the brainchild behind it. Then an American producer stole their idea.
I realize that, but the way you worded it was as if they came to america and produced the show. Made me wonder.

This is how Japan do their game shows. In your country Your shows are about challenge, In Japan it's all about humoring off Ignorance

I find it funny as soon as they said American football he gave up
I would too, with what i know about this crazy game.
Frik Na luzie I’m American, so I laughed harder than they charged
I don’t even understand American Football
Damn he should be.

I'd give up if it just began with American.
There reactions are *PRICELESS!!!*

I like how they look just as confused as I am

they reacted exactly just like how I would react
You're a clinical moron.!
Japan has crazy fun shit like this, what do we get? Family Feud.

I wish we had game shows like this in America, I'd actually watch them. This was awesome and unbelievably hilarious.

Japan... Japan never changes.
What mean?
Fallout 4 reference: "War... War never changes."
D.D. Descendant
In the game he refers to how War always end in death, tragedy, and sorrow for many. It doesn't matter if it's with bullets or with bombs.
War..

Woah! Did we watch the same video?
The Host was joking.

Gaki No Tsukai isn't a game show. It's a variety show. They do a variety of things from games to skits and everything in between.
Magna Ryuu If this WAS a game show, I’d watch it everyday. 😁
How da hell do u know this
Magna Ryuu see, that makes more sense and makes it funnier. Otherwise we are watching men grimace and people being chosen to win or lose. Could have totally rammed it with that tank, and the drummers kept going after the time limit.
Magna Ryuu japanese snl?
no one cares. We will call it a game show.
The concept was only moderately funny. It was the host and contestant's banter that made is hilarious.
O.G Autistler bruh you got a point but why so sudden...
This is actually a cool concept and unique game play.

I'm pissed American isn't creative with TV shows.
This is why when I was younger me and my brother would watch Japanese game shows on RUclips including this video. OMG this is so nostalgic
That was one of the funniest game show moments ever'!
not a game show. It is a comedy show. Gaki no tsukai and ken shimura. Look them up there are hours and hours of this kind of comedy.
I became emotionally invested in this game after the 1st minute
This is actually really hilarious. Like, the contestants know it's crazy and scary, but they've got this fantastic sense of humor. They're not putting up with any crap. "What the heck was that?!?" yelling at the people trying to knock them down. Man, this is great.

*We NEED more shows like THIS*
damn you youtube. also this needs to be made into an english speaking show. i laughed my ass off especially from #2 the red guy
Gonzo If they did it with "Hole In The Wall", I'm sure they can make this game in America too.
